  • Abstract
    A circuit technique for improving the transimpedance flatness and output matching characteristics in a preamplifier is proposed. An 18.5 GHz bandwidth monolithic preamplifier with a transimpedance of 52 dB Omega has been fabricated with AlGaAs/GaAs ballistic collection transistors.
